Sadly, I just don't think those types of stories can be written any more. It's like asking ABC to write shows just like Three's Company or Laverne and Shirley or even the X-Files. Literature tends to reflect the era in which its been written. The world has changed quite a bit in the last 25 years.
Even if we put Byrne, Miller, Simonson, and Moore back on the books that made them famous, they just wouldn't read the same way, let alone genuine. I don't think we realized how good we had it. Then again, we were probably too young and naive to think otherwise.
I think once it became generally about money (who gets what and how much), just about everything changed, that is, sports, TV, film, literature, education, music, cars, houses, drugs, politics, Image Comics -- everything. The changes came so quickly too.
